The University of Westminster's Lecture Series 'Westminster Talks 2015-2016

Westminster Talks is proud to start the new series with a talk by Hilary S. Carty CCMI, Independent Consultant

Hilary Carty, MBA is an independent consultant specialising in leadership development, management and organisational change. Prior to working independently, Hilary was the Director of the Cultural Leadership Programme, a £22m government investment in excellence in leadership within the UK cultural and creative industries. Hilary’s career demonstrates a successful record of senior level policy, development and management experience in the arts and cultural industries including Director, London (Arts) at Arts Council England; Director, Culture and Education at London 2012, where she delivered the inception and planning of the Cultural Olympiad as part of London's successful Olympic bid; and Director of Dance for Arts Council England.

Leading Culture - A Dynamic Challenge

Today’s arts, cultural and creative sectors encompass a broad and eclectic mix of organisations – from the well-established opera house, to quirky creative businesses, via heritage, theatres, companies and spaces. The sector also includes a significant proportion of individual leaders - artists, makers, producers, curators, who combine artistic and creative innovation with influence, advocacy and resilience to deliver at the highest levels.

Sectors champion their distinctiveness and acclaim a range of unique characteristics that set each apart in creative practice, engagement and development. But is the leadership the same? In today’s complex environment just how transferable are the skills and competences of best practice? The talk will explore the complexities and challenges of leadership & management in the 21st Century cultural field.

Organiser

The University of Westminster boasts a vibrant learning environment attracting more than 20,000 students from over 150 nations. We offer highly attractive practice-based courses which are independently rated as excellent, many with international recognition.

Our distinguished 175-year history has meant we lead the way in many areas of research, particularly politics, media, art and design, architecture and biomedical sciences. Additionally, our position in the heart of London allows us to continue to build on our close connections with leading figures and organisations in these areas as well as in the world of business, information technology, and law.

The Westminster Talks series features a diverse mix of speakers who are proud to have a shared history and an exciting future with us. The series aims to connect our audiences – students, alumni, staff, supporters and friends, offering a chance to find out about important research and practice underway at Westminster and the difference the work of our alumni, staff and honorary members have made in their fields.

Many of our speakers come from the University’s global community of over 170,000 alumni spread across 180 countries. Our alumni reflect the diversity and international outlook of our former students, who come from all backgrounds and cultures to study in London, and go on to have a huge impact and make great contributions to the world we live in.
